I love the smell of it (we sell it at Lowe's, too). Odorban(sp) is a good air, carpet and furniture spray. Works like Febreeze but is much cheaper. Candles are always good.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'm going to get some of the Simple Green, definately.

My mom bought an electric plug in from Bath & Body and it smells really good! I think the scent is cinnamon clove.

Not natural but I love the Yankee Candle tarts. I use the tarts during the day and candles at night. The tarts are much stronger. I also have the Yankee plug in oil thingys but I always forget to buy replacements so they're usually empty. I don't think they're that great anyway.

How long do you melt the tarts before you change it?

You can get this odor remover in a tub called odor magnet at QVC. It remove odors as strong a pet odors and burnt popcorn. It works great I love mine

The one thing nice about the Yankee Candle electric plug-ins is that the scent always surprises you. You can come home to a nice smell, or just anytime, the scent just pops up, and smells glorious. I wish I knew other fragrances to recommend the only place they are selling cinnamon is on e-bay, and they are getting outrageous prices for it, but I love it so much, it smells like the real thing, not "applely", like the other brands. The plug-ins are a subtle smell compared with candles.


As far as the soy candles shown in your link, they are suppose to be good for not having the "soot" of regular candles, but some I purchased at Joanne's had more soot than any candle I have ever seen, and they are advertised as no soot.

They're all a little different. My current favorite is Sun and Sand and I can go through like 4 or 5 tea lights per tart. Most of them you can get 2 or 3 tea lights per tart and a few aren't that strong after one one which makes them waaay to expensive. Pumpkin Pie is one that doesn't last but it smells so good I get them anyway in the fall. I usually only burn one tea light per day.

Another really good strongly scented candle is Root. We don't have any stores that sell them so I always forget about them. Every once in a while I'll get lucky and find one at TJ Maxx but my mom gets them at Fresh Market in NC. They are soy or at least a soy blend and zero soot. I think they are stronger than Yankee. They also have tarts but I've never used them.

Oh, that's good to know. The next time I see a cute burner, I'm going to get one.
